Pre-Employment Evaluations

Let’s face it; some very bad candidates interview very well. The vast number of disastrous hires made each year is testament to the fact. That’s why Nutmeg’s staff includes a licensed, state certified, psychologist responsible for undertaking our pre-employment candidate assessments. At its core the pre-employment assessment is a tool used to objectively evaluate a candidate's work-related abilities, skills and personality indicators. This report, which is part of Nutmeg’s standard services in its Retained Search option, is not intended to replace your interview team’s sound, reasoned judgment. Rather, the candidate assessment report is an invaluable interview “tool” that can add significant insight, direction and confidence to your hiring decisions. Our assessments provide your interview team critical feedback on a candidate’s inherent strengths and challenges and can be specifically tailored to your organization’s own unique vision, core values and culture. Our assessments are leadership level specific, and are available for the full range of leadership candidates we produce for our clients -- from manager level to C-Suite. Single tests options along with multiple “test series” options are available, each resulting in an easy to follow written report customized with the amount of supporting details your organization requires. Our pre-employment assessments will give your organization the best chance to avoid a potentially disastrous hiring error and protect your bottom line.
